Personnel Board approves job reclassifications, new rec and childcare positions
Summary
The board approved several job-description updates and new positions — regrading the chief information role and emergency-communications manager, creating a community engagement manager funded from the recreation revolving account, and approving a part-time program director for child-care services with a recommendation to revise the 'director' title.
The Personnel Board approved multiple classification actions and new positions intended to align job duties with current operations and recent organizational changes.
HR presented a reclassification of the former broadband/technology role to Chief Information Officer (removing broadband duties that moved to Concord Light), which reduced the pay grade from 18 to 17. The board also approved a one-grade increase for the Emergency Communications Center manager after adding oversight of maintenance and repair of public-safety communications infrastructure.
The board approved a new Community Engagement Manager position in recreation (grade 6), which HR said will be funded from recreation’s revolving account rather than the general fund. HR explained the position will support marketing, program growth and partnerships and is expected to be self-funded by program revenue.
On childcare services, HR presented a part-time Program Director to support the long-serving director (Anita Hill) amid expanded after-school programming. Several board members expressed concern about title hierarchy — specifically that a "director" would report to a "manager" on the miscellaneous schedule — and asked HR to review and recommend title changes across the miscellaneous schedule. The board approved the job description but recorded a strong recommendation that HR remove or change the "director" title to better reflect the part-time, nonexempt nature of the role.
Votes on each item were recorded verbally during roll call and carried. Board members discussed operational implications, recruitment plans, and the need for a comprehensive review of miscellaneous-schedule titles; HR agreed to review those titles and report back.
